Welcome to 20Thousand Forums.
This forum is built around open discussion and minimal censorship. Users are allowed to argue, joke around, post controversial opinions, criticize ideas, and speak freely without being punished simply because someone dislikes what they said.
However, freedom of speech here does not protect:
- illegal activity
- serious threats
- targeted harassment
- hardcore NSFW/gore
- platform abuse
The rules below exist to keep the site functional without turning it into an overmoderated mess.
When staff issue warnings, punishments may reference specific law numbers.
Section I — General Conduct
Law 01 — Use Common Sense
If something would obviously cause major problems for the site, don’t do it. Trying to loophole rules with technicalities may still result in punishment.
Law 02 — Freedom of Speech Is Allowed
Users are allowed to post controversial opinions, argue/debate, criticize ideologies, use profanity, make edgy jokes, and troll or use satire within reason.
Being offended alone is not a rules violation.

Arguments are allowed. Targeted harassment, stalking, repeated personal attacks, intimidation, or organizing harassment campaigns is not.
